A lot of care should go into ensuring that a warehouse is free of accidents since simple mistakes can lead to fatal accidents.
Some of the common accidents are preventable and usually occur due to lack of proper navigation systems, improperly loaded forklifts/racks, and negligence when it comes to keeping the warehouse clean.
In this article, we look at how you can prevent such accidents or protect yourself in case they occur.
Make Use of Floor Markings
The easier you make it to navigate your warehouse, the safer it will be for everyone involved.
One of the most effective ways to do this is through the use of warehouse floor markings.
Such markings have been shown to not only enhance safety through proper traffic control but also improve warehouse organization, and save time since warehouse navigation is made easier.

Protection Against Falling Objects
Falling objects are some of the leading causes of warehouse accidents.
Objects/inventory can fall off the rack if they are improperly loaded or when the forklift operator uses improper loading techniques as they rush to complete tasks.
Even as you take measures to prevent these accidents, it is still important to take precautions through the use of hard hats, staying within your forklift during operations, and use of overhead guards/backrests.

Clean The Warehouse Frequently
Inventory cluttered all over the warehouse and oil/water spills can cause falls and trips that lead to both minor and fatal accidents.
Luckily you can prevent such accidents from happening by keeping your warehouse clean.
